Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science / Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong Matlab or Python programming skills, familiarity with common python packages
  • Familiarity with machine learning algorithms, familiarity with robotics algorithms such as Kalman Filter, Particle Filter, SLAM. Strong training of math (probability, statistics, linear algebra)
  • Experience in embedded C/C++ programming, board bring-up, profiling, optimization, simulation, and various levels of testing (SW only, HW/SW integration, etc.)
  • Very strong mathematical skills in probability, advanced linear algebra and calculus
  • Good data analysis and data visualization skills would be a huge plus
  • Experience with Ethernet or CAN communication protocols is preferred

Responsibilities

  • Your application for the Software Algorithms Engineering - Electronic Devices Internship will be considered across all opportunities for the teams listed below:
  • The DSP (Digital Signal Processing)-SW team deliver a high-quality, robust, rigorously tested, and maintainable production grade embedded application SW for various sensing systems covering various sensors in a car assisting the autopilot system. A strong depth in linear algebra and digital signal processing will be a key requirement for this role, as well as experience in a high-level prototyping language such as Matlab or Python
  • The Embedded DSP Firmware Implementation team is focused on implementing the algorithms in embedded firmware in C or C++. Ability to optimize algorithms for compute limited scenarios, exploiting machine level parallelism and familiarity/interest in embedded programming is a key requirement
  • The Electronic Systems teams develop machine learning techniques using high level languages such as Python or Matlab and translate these high level algorithms into embedded code in C or C++ in order to research and create new signal processing.
